Things To Do
The Duomo & Giotto’s Bell Tower
Florence’s iconic skyline is defined by the Duomo, officially known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. You can climb 450 steps to the top of the dome for breathtaking 360° views of the city. Right next to the Duomo is Giotto’s Bell Tower, a beautifully detailed structure that’s part of the same cathedral complex. You can also climb the bell tower for equally incredible views. Be aware that both climbs require reservations.
